I will be the first to admit that over the past month and a half I have been slacking when it comes to taking care of myself. I haven’t been getting more than 6 hours of sleep a night, I haven’t been exercising as much as I need to feel good about myself, and I definitely haven’t been eating healthy enough for my liking. What I HAVE been doing is working, working some more and, oh, did I mention working?
Now let me just state that I am one of those people who, when I’m feeling healthy and “on”, really enjoys being busy and thrives on being pulled in multiple directions. I will go, go, go and LOVE it until one day, seemingly out of the blue, my mind and body hit a wall and I crash. HARD.
The past few weeks have been spent fighting the fact that I need to slow down a bit, start getting 7+ hours of sleep again and perform a complete overhaul on my diet. I took a momentary step back from blogging in order to work on the slowing down and sleep part of the equation and am now moving on to phase two: my diet. That is where today’s cocktail recipe comes in.
As of yesterday I am taking five days off from drinking in order to clear my system out, but before I embarked down this dry, dry road I had to enjoy one last hurrah in the form of today’s strawberry ginger Kombucha cocktail.
